actually I have read it over at pkg-voip already. ;)

The question at hand was however not who could package it, but who could
verify the packaging once made. At least if I have grasped the discussion
correctly. Having a sort of packaging maintained shouldn't be much of a
problem. I'm sure Tzafrir will agree here.

IMO no problem importing this into Debian if there is someone sending in a
version that's "practically proven working". And once it's reworked and
commited to keep trying/using that version and inform us in case things go
utterly wrong - preferably with a patch. ;-)
